Initiatives

Recycling is now available at Les Roses Compounds!

Les Roses Real Estate and OCS Qatar are pleased to announce that we are adding recycling service for residents and launching a new recycling program in our compounds starting from October 2019.

Recycling the paper, cardboard, plastic and metal from our residents household will help reduce the amount waste which is a crucial and simple step to building a greener community.

ECGC employees will gather to do the litter picking within the vicinity. Employees will be divided into groups and will have their own assignment of the area of their responsibility for this activity.

The idea is to give all the customers at Falcon Fruits & Vegetables (a popular produce shop in West Bay) the possibility to purchase and start using reusable bags for their produce. 

Reusable bags will be put up for sale at the store and accompanied by a poster encouraging shoppers to take the opportunity of Qatar Sustainability Week to buy such bags and commit to change. 

We know that once we own reusable bags, we are more likely to walk away from plastic bags and to say no to other types of single-use plastic as well. 

Naufar kitchen takes an initiative in recycling food waste from the preparation. This stage takes a vital part in the process in which the vegetable peels that usually ends up in the trash are being used and recycled (usable part). Trimmings and peels are roasted, boiled to make vegetable stock. The stock is used in the dishes to enhance its flavor.

With our commitment to the environment, our office is adopting the following practices, some of which already in action, to promote sustainability and Qatar vision 2030:

Employees will participate in growing their own plants, by planting the seeds in small pots and place it on their individual desks.

Pots will be used from recycled materials to reduce waste.

Plants will help improve the indoor air quality and increase employees productivity and satisfaction.

We at Ginger Camel believes in investing for a sustainable environment, that is why we made a choice to share a ride with our colleagues everyday going to work, and back to our homes. It was a little sacrifice that we had give, but little did we know we are not just minimizing car emissions in Doha, it also gives us an opportunity to get to know the people we worked with even more⁠. It is a mixture of feeling good about doing something right while also enjoying the people who share the same belief and care for the environment with you.

We have already executed Beach Clean up last week that involved all of our staff members (can share pics). We've decided to place notes over all power switches (lights and AC), our office temperature is set to 21C (and we try to avoid using AC during cooler months), we also moved to water from dispenser (offering clients 'glass of water' instead of bottles), staff members living close by to each other have started doing car pooling.

In addition to last years initiative, Naufar is now showing even greater commitment by segregating organic waste and following the Baladyia led initiatives for even more detailed segregation.

An internal communication campaign has been launched in parallel to emphasize the importance of waste management on the environment.

Naufar is constructing a water polishing plant in order to reduce use of potable water and raise its own usage level of TSE (Treated Sewage Effluent).
